Pilates, a non-impact deep muscle conditioning method, strengthens the body’s “powerhouse” (the abdominal, gluteal and back muscles). According to Joseph Pilates, “Pilates is designed to give you suppleness, natural grace and skill that will be unmistakably reflected in the way you walk, play and work.” By redressing unbalances and altering movement patterns, your body is brought back into balance. This intensive mat workout enhances posture, flexibility, endurance and balance while toning and firming your Powerhouse (core) and can be modified from gentle to challenging, depending on fitness level and goals. Wear comfortable clothing, and bring a mat and light weights. Wednesday, 6:15-7:15 pm Sept. 10 - Dec. 3 at Salter Community Center Saturday, 10:50-11:50 am; no class Nov. 29 Sept. 13 - Dec. 13 at Salter Community Center
